(German Shepherd x Siberian Husky Mix)

Stray

Appearance:

_{Credits go to me (242831)}

Kieran weighs in around 79.8 lbs, a bit heavy, due to his mixture of breeds. Part German Shepherd and part Siberian Husky, he's a unique standard in the dog bred world. A coat with an array of blueish and orange hues, Kieran struggles with just fitting in simply because how easy it is to pick him out in a crowd. Average in agility, his main focus are strength and speed, a true powerhouse when it comes to chasing down prey. Insane stamina when it comes to running long distances, Kieran's build is best for chasing and tackling.

Strengths/Weaknesses Description:

√ Endurance - Longest he has gone was 135 miles without breaking.

√ Intelligence - A combined mix of two intelligent dog breeds, Kieran thinks before he acts, gaining a step or two ahead of his opponent.

√ Courageous - Kieran knows no such thing as fear. He takes everything head on, braving everything out.

≠ Destructive - Kieran needs near constant stimulation to keep himself entertained, lest he destroys something.

≠ Trust issues - Dumped by his old owner, Kieran has a hard time trusting others, regardless how small the matter may be. This has led to social anxiety.

≠ Mischievous - Can't trust anyone and no one can trust him. Almost always up to something that'll end up annoying the others later.

Design Notes (Optional):

There is a small blue tint to his fur due to his mixture. When drawing please note that.

Personality:

An ambivert at best, Kieran is still a social butterfly at heart, even if it terrifies him. The lack of attention sometimes puts him in a spiral and he destroys things as a way to get attention. It's a terrible way to do it, but it works everytime. Somewhat cocky about his coat and intelligence, he'll pace around for hours at a time just thinking about his next elaborate scheme. A playful trickster, Kieran has targeted just about everyone on the island and enjoys his reputation. Other than the flooding, Kieran hasn't been in a too serious situation where he would need such intelligence, so he spends his days pranking others and getting on the other dogs' nerves. Extremely curious about the Island and the mysterious group, he yearns to learn more about the history of it, but gets choked up and too shy to ask.

Overall, a pretty relaxed dog unless he's showing off (which is 99% of the time) and he's strutting his absolute best. Somewhat cocky, Kieran will brag about feats he's achieved and often exaggerates his stories to "bring more oompfh" to them. Has a burning hatred for the sea and despises swimming. Hates when he touches water unless he's bathing.

Background/History (Optional):

Thank god this is optional I don't know what to tell you he just spawned.

Roleplay Example:

A small piercing cry filled the sky as crow fluttered from it's spot on a metal fence. Its' black wings shimmered in the sunshine as it flew away, the sound alerting the dog that was currently resting amongst stairs. His icey glare followed the bird until it flew out of sight, and he grunted. That crow had seemed to be following him and he had no idea why. Shaking out whatever paranoia that had stuck to his coat, Kieran trotted away from the shade of the steps and out into the beating sun. His nails clacking against the asphalt, he passed by abandoned buildings whose windows reflected the enviroment time and time again.

He continued on, not sure where he was entirely going, but letting his paws deciding where he needed to go. His brain sped with ideas and thoughts of plans and traps, but who to use them on? Whilst getting caught up in his thoughts, he suddenly stepped in something wet. A chain reaction of him whipping his paw out of whatever he stepped in and his muzzle curling into a snarl of disgust. Looking down, he saw he was currently standing in a shallow pool of water. Tilting his head out of confusion, it didn't take long before he could smell petrichor. Ah, change of plans. He then turned and trotted off into a different direction, his destination embedded in his head.

Other Notes?: I work a lot, will try my best to be active!

Name: Xianthos (Zai-an-thos)
Gender: Male
Age: 5 years
Dog Breed: Bernese Mountain Dog x Japanese Akita
Stray/Pet/Descendant: Descendant

Appearance:
(Credits to 204590 ie Me <3)

Strengths/Weaknesses Description:

Strengths

- Thick Coat: Resistance to the cold, repels water to some extent

- Stocky Build: Power-oriented, lots of muscle under the fur

- Good Swimmer: Has webbed feet. Also good in snow

- Charismatic: Has more of a Bernese Mountain Dog personality than an Akita one. Not as affectionate or eager to please as a pure Bernese Mountain Dog, but he has a keen interest in others and is fairly friendly without being overbearing.

Weakness

- Thick Coat: Weak to heat, sheds like a bitch

- Stocky Build: Not really known for speed. Is fast thanks to the muscle, but is definitely slower and not as agile as dogs that are smaller and leaner.

- Independent: Is emotionally independent and is slow to confide in others. Can be stubborn in his ways and hard to convince otherwise. While he may outwardly show compliance or may seem to agree with something, he isn't always convinced by others and generally needs to come to the same conclusion himself.

- Partial Blindness: Blind in his left eye, Xianthos is considerably less aware of things on his left side and needs to compensate for the lack of vision through increased head movements.

Design Notes (Optional): Left eye is blind. Right eye is sectoral heterochromia, but it's lowkey hard to tell. Sad. His brindle doesn't need to be super exact since he has decent-length fur and the markings can shift with him. He's about 125 lbs and 27 in.

Personality: A relatively friendly and easy-going canine, Xianthos is rather quick to make allies, though not necessarily close friends. While he has a calm temperament, he's not cold or distant and is easy to approach. However, this isn't to say that he's quick to trust or loose-lipped. Intelligent with a healthy amount of skepticism regarding strangers, Xianthos is never truly comfortable confiding in his emotions with others. This doesn't impede his ability to socialize with those around him, and most don't realize that Xianthos is hiding information.

With close friends, Xianthos is supportive, reliable, and immensely trustworthy. Once his loyalty is won, it's won forever. This doesn't mean he'll believe anything his friends say, though. An independent thinker, it'll take some hard facts to convince Xianthos, and he generally needs to come to any conclusions on his own. When those he cares about are in danger, or rather, if there's even a hint of impeding danger, Xianthos is quick to become protective and becomes a fierce fighter. This does, unfortunately, get him into trouble at times.

Roleplay Example: Pushed along by the gentle current of the river, Xianthos languidly floated, black nose poking out of the water every once in a while to suck in some much-needed air. It was much too hot for the thick-coated canine, and there was only so much he could do to cool off. He could go and complain to Viyon, he supposed, but he doubted the gruff dog would appreciate his company if all Xianthos did was complain about the summer heat. Then again, he couldn't stay in the water forever. A few powerful strokes were all he needed to get his webbed paws to carry him to the riverside. A quiet grunt later, and the heavy canine was out of the water, pounds of muscle propelling him out. A shake wasn't quite enough to get himself dry, but Xianthos was sure the blazing sun would have him dry in just a few moments.

Other Notes?: I dunno, don't be intimidated by the fact that I'm a game mod- I'm sure ET is more likely to be on your ass anyway <3

Name: Shiro (she-ro)

Gender: Female

Age: 2.5 years

Dog Breed: Purebred Shiba Inu (Cream)

Stray/Pet/Descendant: (Spoiled) Pet

Appearance: Cream Sheeb. Just very white. Is often dressed in different kinds of accessories by her owner. Gets forced into doggy shoes, but she doesn't like them and kicks them off as soon as she can. 15in / 21lbs

Strengths/Weaknesses Description:

Strength

- She's a Shiba.

(Swift, agile, independent, curious)

Weakness

- She's a Shiba...

(stubborn, small, not much strength though she can overpower other dogs her size, she screams / yodels)

Personality: A standoffish and spoiled fashionista, Shiro comes from a very long line of purebred Shiba Inus, and boy, is she proud of it. Having a very standard Shiba personality (independent, standoffish, curious, active, mischievous) but with a bit of spoiled child flair, Shiro can often be seen ignoring her owner (lovingly, maybe) and doing her own thing. If she doesn't feel like doing something, she won't do it. Try and force her? Cue Shiba scream. She can be a bit of a menace.

While Shiro takes a long while to warm up to strangers, once she deems someone worthy of existing around her, she can be somewhat affectionate. This often is expressed by Shiro actually bothering to hold a conversation or by her sharing her accessories with them.

Background/History (Optional): Shiro's owner (Angelina Parsley) purchased Shiro from a very renowned Shiba Inu breeder in Japan. While the cream coat is rare, Angelina was able to purchase her for cheaper than if they were to buy a red or black/tan dog from the same breeder. Shiro's owner is a famous supermodel/actress who has had one too many affairs with famous men and has decided she would pour her love and affection into the headstrong canine instead of other people. She was named Shiro by her owner because she's a white Shiba, and Shiro means white in Japanese. Angelina is kinda basic like that. Lovingly, of course.

Shiro's day-to-day is almost always taking pictures for some kind of social media. When not modeling, Shiro spends time at home lounging in her very fancy and comfortable 1k dollar dog bed. Sometimes she does have to fight Angelina Russian blue cat and long-haired Persian cat. But it's fine, cause obviously she's the best and she can always beat the cats. Ish.

Other Notes?: Just a cream shiba, no visible markings. Any kind of accessories work if she's ever drawn by other people. <3
